Title of your Abstract : THE EFFECTS OF MALE HYPERINSULINEMIA ON IVF OUTCOMES
Destination Country : Netherlands
From : Thursday, November 10, 2016
To : Sunday, November 13, 2016
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : ABSTRACT
Background: Combination of sedentary life and high fat/carbohydrate containing diets predisposes a person to elevated serum insulin level and insulin resistance. Raising serum insulin level has been recently suggested to inversely influence on normal spermatogenesis by altering in androgenic hormones profile. Hyperinsulinemia can also contribute to impaired sperm function by increasing in inflammatory chemicals, free radicals, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Higher percentage of poorly compacted sperm deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was detected in hyperinsulinemic men. These research evidences prompted us to evaluate the influence of male hyperinsulinemia on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes.

Methods & Materials: A case-control study was performed on 114 infertile couples who were candidate for IVF program at a university –affiliated IVF Unit, in 2015. The precipitating males were the healthy and normozoospermic men. The participating women were younger than 36 years old with tubal factor as infertility cause and having more than three oocytes in a conventional stimulation programs. The subjects were divided in two groups according to male partner insulin levels; the patients with serum insulin level ≤ 9 µIU/ml as the control group (n = 93) and the patients with serum insulin levels > 9 µIU/ml as the case group (n = 21). The main outcome measures were semen parameters, fertilization rate, number of embryos, embryo quality, biochemical pregnancy rate, and clinical pregnancy rate. 

Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding the demographic data. Two groups did not differ statistically in terms of sperm parameter values including; sperm concentration, motility and morphology (ρ= 0. 41, ρ= 0. 38, ρ= 0. 22, respectively). The fertilization rate of the group with normal serum insulin levels was statistically higher than that of the hyprinsulinemic group (72.12% vs. 43.61%, ρ= 0.041). There was a slight linear association between serum insulin levels and number of embryos (r = 0.209, ρ= 0.038). The hyperinsulinemic men had lower embryo quality than control group (ρ= 0. 013).Nevertheless, no association were found between serum insulin levels and biochemical pregnancy rates (35.41% vs. 37.23%) and clinical pregnancy rates (26.34% vs. 29.58%) in the case and control groups (ρ= 0.453 , ρ=0.764 , respectively).
Conclusion: Male insulin levels may influence embryo quality and fertilization rates in an IVF program. In fact, these findings call for greater clinical awareness of adverse effects of male hyperinsulinemia on male reproductive health.

Were the delegates of any other organizations present in the congress? :  
If yes, please write the names of the organizations in the box :  
What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : Male factor infertility is a subject with several challenges . My topic was about the relation between hyperinsulinemia in male partners involved in an ART program and ART outcomes.It is a new subject in ART field &human healthiness . The result of our work was showed that hyperinsulinemia has adverse effect on IVF outcome. The specific questions were about the causes and severity of this adverse effects and preventive actions against of hyperinsulinemia .
If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. :  
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : The congress has two periods annually . The first holds in an European country and the second episode in a non-European country . I suppose our country is a excellent candidate. We need to talk with the members of the congress about this suggestion.in the other hand , some speakers in this congress were the best in your field .We could invite them to Iran for practical courses in TUMS.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : I had no special problem in my journey .
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : There were some new points in ART research in this congress . In endometriosis related infertility field , the new approach to endometrioma in infertile women was discussed and the new classification of adenomyosiswas was introduced . The novel managements and surgeries of adenomyosis were discussed . The debates regarding to surgery of myoma such as risks and benefits of intamural myoma in IVF failure patients , type of operations ( laparoscopic approach versus minilaparotomy ), nonsurgical management of myoma were discussed.
